With the Liotes Project, our target is to grow as a community and to help the community members to increase their stake. To do that, we have created the Liotes Power Challenge. We had the first edition in 2023, a second edition in 2024 and in January, we started the third edition of this Challenge. This is the second standing of this new challenge after about 6 months. We are half through the year! The concept is very simple, the more Hive you power up, the better. You just do what you have been doing so far: create content, curate and grow. We will track your growth with this challenge and reward you accordingly. ## How to take part? If you are listed in the ranking below, you automatically take part. You don't need to do anything else. Simply power up as much Hive as possible during 2025. If you are not listed below and you would like to take part all the same, it's possible. You need to get into the top 50 of the liotes ranking at a later stage and you can then ask to be included in the challenge through a comment under one of our posts. ## Who wins? Everybody wins. At the end of a year we check who has grown the most over the last 12 month and the more you grew, the more you earn. ## What can you earn? For this challenge, we have a prize pot under the account @liotes.one. Whatever this account earns is powered up and delegated to the liotes.voter account. Like that the account earns daily dividends in the form of LEN tokens. These LEN tokens will then be distributed at the end of 2025. The more Hive you have powered up, the more you will earn! ## What is new in this challenge? We decreased the number of participants from 70 to 50 to save some time while doing these posts and adding value to the Liotes ranking. Another new thing this year is that we will include the accounts @ourpick, @liotes and @liotes.fund in the challenge because they are part of this community and we want to see how they evolve over the year. However, these 3 accounts will not be elegible for the prize money at the end of the year. ## The Ranking (27.6.2025) Rank | Hive Username | Start (7.1.2025) | 27.06.25 | Increase -- | -- | -- | -- | -- 1 | @ph1102 | 104914 | 113797 | 8883 2 | @condeas | 108035 | 116349 | 8314 3 | @melinda010100 | 78849 | 84763 | 5914 4 | @bitcoinflood | 123914 | 129000 | 5086 5 | @ervin-lemark | 42288 | 47239 | 4951 6 | @achim03 | 72185 | 76709 | 4524 7 | @freecompliments | 74729 | 78391 | 3662 8 | @gwajnberg | 8232 | 11876 | 3644 9 | @seckorama | 25195 | 28767 | 3572 10 | @shiftrox | 12169 | 15734 | 3565 11 | @vaynard86 | 10305 | 13790 | 3485 12 | @blitzzzz | 13430 | 16374 | 2944 13 | @incublus | 20300 | 23162 | 2862 14 | @ekavieka | 13601 | 16425 | 2824 15 | @tengolotodo | 11450 | 14236 | 2786 16 | @liotes.fund | 42246 | 44955 | 2709 17 | @liotes | 7276 | 9892 | 2616 18 | @hirohurl | 7650 | 10015 | 2365 19 | @forykw | 95343 | 97678 | 2335 20 | @jfang003 | 14101 | 16287 | 2186 21 | @palomap3 | 13199 | 15343 | 2144 22 | @alexvan | 28761 | 30505 | 1744 23 | @dewabrata | 10295 | 11969 | 1674 24 | @ctpsb | 32396 | 33957 | 1561 25 | @relf87 | 7142 | 8607 | 1465 26 | @kaibagt | 5497 | 6513 | 1016 27 | @imfarhad | 11285 | 12231 | 946 28 | @ourpick | 3751 | 4659 | 908 29 | @coquicoin | 10608 | 11465 | 857 30 | @elderdark | 6241 | 7049 | 808 31 | @gadrian-sp | 37345 | 38082 | 737 32 | @edgerik | 2425 | 3050 | 625 33 | @maddogmike | 6830 | 7435 | 605 34 | @iamraincrystal | 14188 | 14730 | 542 35 | @cursephantom | 3883 | 4268 | 385 36 | @darmst5339 | 3458 | 3807 | 349 37 | @yeckingo1 | 4463 | 4768 | 305 38 | @tokutaro22 | 2220 | 2392 | 172 39 | @pieternijmeijer | 1246 | 1405 | 159 40 | @pixiepost | 11043 | 11197 | 154 41 | @kingneptune | 2065 | 2156 | 91 42 | @ak08 | 4408 | 4491 | 83 43 | @zallin | 3427 | 3477 | 50 44 | @freesinger | 3571 | 3621 | 50 45 | @moonthumb | 3299 | 3346 | 47 46 | @ladymisa | 383 | 421 | 38 47 | @thegcc | 338 | 347 | 9 48 | @ifarmgirl | 26452 | 26410 | -42 49 | @michupa | 14968 | 10574 | -4394 50 | @mypathtofire | 5743 | 490 | -5253 51 | @solymi | 18526 | 12222 | -6304 52 | @dagger212 | 55982 | 41403 | -14579 53 | @ecoinstant | 25983 | 3464 | -22519 54 | @netaterra | 61458 | 1424 | -60034 ## After big decrease, we are growing again In April, we made the first standing and we were down by 62'000 Hive power since the beginning of the year. Since then, we are almost back to that level. Since the last standing, the total hive power of the community has grown nicely and we are only 16'000 Hive power behind the starting point. I believe, it's great to see that we have managed to turn things around and are growing again as a community. I'm sure that we will be able to have a net growth by the end of 2025! ## New script to calculate the Hive Power Since the beginning of the this challenge, I have always been collecting the data for this ranking by hand. One account after the other. Today, in 10 minutes I managed to create a script thanks to AI that does this automatically... I've been waiting a very long time for that... P.S: 50% of the rewards of this post will go into the prize pot (@liotes.one) of this challenge ![Liotes Divider Blue.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ph1102/23tkbF4DcCGQEGiCeHeG4sUJewcA9b5MwubaESF9UnsbGiZjuEBo43Dsdseh7hKo2qwcG.png) ## [Please consider voting for the Liotes HIVE Witness](https://vote.hive.uno/@liotes) ### Liotes A project run by @ph1102 and @achim03 #### Resources - [Website](https://liotes.com/) - [Hive account](https://peakd.com/@liotes) - [The Liotes Ranking](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vT15H8Ix01KrjfmHfMIkCfYKvVlavUhH3ydg8zTlVKSP2_E_z2s4DH7czR3PdX_qBmd2e-Os13AH7UD/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true) - [Discord Server](https://discord.gg/CGUEfVQ) - [Lbry account](https://lbry.tv/@Liotes:a?r=EtCZhJxUES3qmfsNzxXkw17q9rzKx4tN)
